Abstract

OPNET Modeler represents nowadays one of the most important simulation tools used by the research community in the area of Quality of Service (QoS). Because of the complexity and of the multitude of configurations that are possible in a network domain or in the Internet, a number of specific implementations of QoS mechanisms are not yet available in simulation tools. This paper presents a new type of queue configuration mechanism that enables the dynamic creation of Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) queues, while maintaining the properties of the Differentiated Service (DiffServ) queue scheduling discipline for a specific interface. Practical considerations for extending the queue management facilities and supported QoS abilities of OPNET Modeler are illustrated.
